Chapter 123: The devious Mr. Lu (2/2)

And then she was pushed aside by Tian Rou’s palm. “Go to the side and don’t make a fuss!” Then, freed from distractions, she continued spurring Baldy on.

The rest of Baldy’s story was exactly as Cheng Xi guessed: it was his damn idea all along to have Lu Chenzhou buy a big red blanket, cover himself up with it, and then gift the bundle to her to unwrap!

“Restoring the olden days of a candlelit wedding night. How beautiful, how romantic!”

Romantic, my ass! But when she recalled the 囧 expression she had made that night, Cheng Xi unfortunately started blushing again. She shot another look at the calm and collected Lu Chenzhou. “Are you really not going to stop them from gossipping?”

Lu Chenzhou peered at her curiously. “Why would I care?”

“…….”

She had completely forgotten that he thought differently from a normal person, and that he didn’t care about things like this at all.

Baldy and Tian Rou laughed loudly at Lu Chenzhou’s response, becoming even more unrestrained. Lu Chenzhou had been very busy in the past couple of weeks, as he had to both deal with company matters and set up dates with Cheng Xi. So, Baldy had been eagerly awaiting the results of his devious plan. When he saw Cheng Xi’s reaction, he easily deduced that Lu Chenzhou had indeed done as he had instructed. He smiled exaggeratedly as he directly asked Lu Chenzhou, “What happened after? Was the effect good?”

Lu Chenzhou opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Cheng Xi immediately guessed what he was about to say. She tossed all her misgivings to the wind and ran over to clamp his mouth shut. “You better not say anything!”

Lu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise, taking the opportunity to pull her waist toward him. The faint medicinal smell lingering on her body was calming, and he still seemed to be affected by their little encounter in the washroom. As if moving purely on instinct, his head arched over to her ear, where he lightly sniffed her before softly whispering, “Are you going to call them over next time?”

Cheng Xi was somewhat shocked, turning around to look at him properly. He looked back at her coolly. Although he didn’t say anything else, Cheng Xi could see the threat in his gaze.

My… my goodness. Who knew that Mr. Lu was such a devious person!

Cheng Xi wanted to cry, but she had to instead obediently admit her wrongdoing—otherwise, if he really told everyone what happened that night, she would be humiliated, alright? She clasped her hands together, softly pleading for mercy.

Baldy and Tian Rou saw that Lu Chenzhou was about to succumb to Cheng Xi’s antics, but how could they let that happen that easily? They still hadn’t heard the juiciest part of the story yet.

Baldy made an emotional appeal. “You’re not going to act like this, are you, Zhou? I spent so much effort helping you, by answering all of your questions and doing whatever you asked. It was all to support you chasing your girlfriend, and you- you- you… Are you so heartless that you would leave me stranded without a conclusion?”

Tian Rou, on the other hand, tempted him with an equally alluring trade. “Mr. Lu, you want to get together with the girl you’ve been wooing, right? Ask me, ask me! I’ve been friends with Cheng Xi for over a decade, and I even know her favorite underwear color.”

Cheng Xi was struck speechless. ……With friends like these, she was seconds away from flipping the table over and attacking them!

Luckily, after Cheng Xi had promised him, Lu Chenzhou quickly dealt with the two of them. After letting loose a cold snort, he dissed Baldy first. “If you’re so capable of romance, then why are you still single even after all these years?”

Baldy…...vanquished.

And then he turned his attention to Tian Rou, his gaze disdainful. “If I wanted to know what color underwear she’s wearing, then why would I ask you? Can’t I just undress her myself?

Tian Rou…...vanquished.

When Cheng Xi was the only one left alive, she obediently sat back in her chair, looking at him with a 囧囧囧 expression.

But Lu Chenzhou nonethless turned his gaze to her next. Though his facial features were sharp, his expression was somewhat gentle. “On our next date, if you bring another wagon of third wheels along……” He leaned in close to deliver his punchline, softly saying, “I’ll ravage you!”

Cheng Xi…...also vanquished.
